My Choice for President, if I were Republican

Illinois
will vote Tuesday, and I thought I would give my opinion of the Republican
candidates for those Republicans who are undecided.I will assume you don’t want to switch
parties for this election.
I have changed my order for whom I would choose to be president if I had to
vote Republican.It used to be Kasich,
then Trump, Rubio, Cruz; but Trump cannot focus on issues and instead focuses
on polls and popularity.So now I would
recommend Kasich, then Rubio, then Trump, then Cruz.Yes, I still think Cruz is the worst.

Cruz wants to get rid of the EPA, the Department of
Education, wants to loosen regulations, and wants to make sure every woman or
girl who gets pregnant has to pass a volleyball through her vagina, whether she
wants to or not, and he has made it harder for women to get
contraceptives.

Do you really know what his policies mean?This is what he wants to take away from you:
The EPA sets the standards for clean water, clean air, keeps our foods are safe
and collects data for every type of environmental hazard in our country.

The Department of Education awards Pell grants, sees that the states do not
break civil rights laws, and monitors inequality in education between low
income and wealthy students.Without the
Department of Education, there will be no way to keep schools accountable for
the funds they receive, or monitor how programs are working.

Notice the candidates never tell you what “loosen
regulations” means?It could mean
allowing companies to pollute as much as they want, for farmers to dump waste
wherever they want, for land necessary for species survival to be taken for
businesses, for drilling in our national parks, for less monitoring or
inspections of food, less labeling of food, less airplane safety, less safe
food and drugs, regulations on items such as lead could be cut, and products
such as wood could once again slip in items like formaldehyde.

He’s a climate change denier as well.He
is unwavering and does not care about the consequences to the people, as long
as he wins his battle.

Cruz oversteps religion’s bound in government, using the term “religious
liberties” to trump civil rights.He
fights so that only a man and woman can be married to each other, because any
other form of love is unchristian and therefore unacceptable under the law, according
to him.Think about that in our secular
government!He fights to have Christian
religious monuments and banners in public schools and in other places where it
is illegal.He fights to allow
Christians to discriminate.He claimed
the Planned Parenthood murderer was transgender.That is an absolute lie – Trump is right –
Cruz is a bold-faced liar.Ted Cruz
spoke at a rally where gay people were called Satanic.He only believes the Constitution when is
supports his policies.

Lastly, Ted Cruz voted against raising the minimum wage, and his plan will
raise taxes on the poor.
If I were a Republican, switching to a third-party candidate and throwing away
my vote would be preferable to voting for Ted Cruz, a very dangerous man for America.

About Me

I became an atheist thanks to YouTube! For years I hovered between having a God, being "spiritual" and being agnostic - in fact, most of my life. There was only a short period of time when I was a Jesus Freak along with my brother, but I did not fit in with his group. I attended a religious college for two years and felt like the "odd woman out" there as well. One day on the main page of AOL there was a picture of Kirk Cameron and another picture of a pretty young blond woman with curly long hair and a cute little chin. They said she got more "hits" on YouTube than Kirk did! Of course, it was Zomgitscriss! I watched her video and thought, "You know, I think like she does, but she is a lot smarter than I am!" I watched more of her videos, and she said it was just a hop, skip and jump from agnosticism to atheism. I thought, "Oh, I could never be an atheist - it's such a harsh word!" I decided to look at her favorites and saw a big guy with long hair who looked like he belonged in a motorcycle gang. I smirked and thought, "This will be good - let's see what he has to say," thinking he had to sound dumb. It turned out to be Aron Ra, and I was treated to video after video about evolution, taxonomy and phylogeny - subjects I knew nothing about! What an education! One day, I clicked on Pangeaprogress' videos. I saw his beautiful nature videos of Africa. Suddenly, a pack of lions surrounded an antelope and started eating her, slowly, starting at the hips and wherever they could bite. I was totally shocked. I had been overprotected a good share of my life, and my mother always told me that animals "always went right for the neck and the death was over in an instant." Well, it wasn't. From that moment on, I was an atheist. No God could sit by and watch such cruelty and pain and suffering and allow it to happen. No excuses. This is how YouTube converted me, and my eyes have been opened to so many new ideas thanks to the Internet!
